The home side opened the scoring with a superb counter-attacking move when Phil Bailey intercepted, found George Carmont who in turn fed in Richards to finish the move.

Wigan extended their lead after 17 minutes when second-rower Hock took hooker Mark Riddell's pass from dummy half and slipped all too easily past centre Paul Sykes for a second try, with Richards kicking a second goal.

A period of concerted pressure from the visitors shortly after failed to come to anything before the Warriors struck again when the outstanding Hock sent Carmont over for a third try.

A Richards penalty preceded Hock's second try of the game, with the England second-rower powering over from close range, to further extend Wigan's advantage.
